Even among the educated middle classes in modern urban India, marriage is as much a concern of the families as it is of the 55. So customary is the practice of

18、 arranged marriage that there is a special name for marriage which is 56: It is called a “l(fā)ove match”.On my first trip to India, I met many young men and women whose parents were in the process of “getting them married .

27、. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Thailand uses the phrase “l(fā)and of smiles” to describe itself in tourist brochures and advertising campaigns and rightly so. Visitors to

28、 Thailand can expect to be greeted with a12smile when they leave the airport, get into a taxi or rental car and again when they enter a hotel. What makes it so easy for Thai people to smile at their visitors? The head of Thailand s tourist bureau says that it is “in the nature of the people ”. The T

29、hai are naturally happy, he says with a smile, and they are glad to share that happiness with others.This attitude seems to be very much appreciated by the more than five million tourists who visit Thailand each year. The country ranks high on the list of places to which visitors want to return. The

30、 reason most often stated is that the people are friendly and courteous （ 有 禮貌的 ）. Some other Asian destinations are not as well received. Hong Kong ranks low, with shopkeepers particularly rated as unfriendly, unhelpful and sometimes rude. Bali in Indonesia ranks high on the list, with Japan somewh

31、ere in the middle.These reports raise the question of whether certain nationalities are naturally more courteous than others. While people may experience more friendliness in Thailand than in Hong Kong, that may have more to do with the place than the people. Travel writers point out that cities are

32、 always stressful, hurried, impersonal places, with little to offer in the ways of smiles and welcome. Bangkok is not as friendly as other places in the surrounding Thai countryside. Remote towns and villages in China, for example, offer visitors a warm welcome, with smiles and giggles from children

33、. Perhaps it should also be pointed out that visitors themselves make a difference to the courtesy with which they are received. Polite, patient, smiling visitors will most be greeted similarly, no matter which country they are in.70. The phrase “l(fā)and of smiles ” means .A. Thailand is a funny countr

34、y.B. the tourists must smile all the time in Thailand.C. there is a piece of land which can smile in Thailand.D. the people in Thailand are kind and friendly.71.

Japanese shopkeepers are the most courteousD. shopkeepers in Indonesia are the most beautiful(B)Some American parents might think their children need better education to compete with China and other countries '.

37、 do the parents themselves need to change?A new book called “BattleHymn of the Tiger Mother“ by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and a mother of two daughters. She was raised in American Mi

38、dwest by immigrant Chinese parents.In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Ms Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to

39、do.Many people criticized Amy Chua. She also admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes disagreed with her parenting style. But she says that is the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Ms. Chua makes fun of her own style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure

40、after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” But shealso says American parents often have low expectations of their childrens. One of ' s abilitiethe biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than

41、fragility .”Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says: The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child? Ms DeBroff says Amy Chua ' s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. Sh

42、e says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to besocial or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacey DeBroff ad

Follow successful people's parenting style76. The word fragility “in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ”

45、.A. weaknessB. consciousnessC. independenceD. Perseverance77. According to the passage, Amy Chua's parenting style is.A. uniqueB. questionedC. reasonableD. creative（C）You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns （打哈欠）.Suddenly, you're yawning with him, though you

46、9;re not tired.This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions （有感染力的 ）yawni

47、ng, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we're

48、 feeling. "Emotions are closely linked with states of internal （ 內(nèi)部的）responses, "he explained. "There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions. When we're in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there's the obvious tenden

49、cy to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. "Hugo Critchley further explained, "Our bodies synchronize and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior.

50、Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you're sitting-it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it's our way of telling each other that we're partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle （ 微妙 的） but clear signals that show emo

51、tions. "So, what lessons can we learn from this? "Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could suffer, " said Critchley. "When we're sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we're happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. S

52、o we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us. " 78. According to Hogo Critchley, .A. emotions are as visible as facial expressionsB. we yawn more frequently when we have a coldC. emotions are connected with states of internal responsesD. the change of bloo
